• What is the impact (i.e., to residents, business owners, employees, and/or operations) if the position is not filled? There would be days where there would not be a full complement of officers. This would cause delays in response times and definitely a decrease in general patrol duties. Citizens would not see a squad driving by their house as often if there are fewer officers on the department patrolling the neighborhoods and businesses. • Can the service provided be reduced, eliminated, or contracted out? No. The City has its own police department and provides that service. Citizens will see an impact if there are fewer officers on duty. We would still operate as a department but would have one less officer on the schedule. • What is the budgetary impact if the position is not filled (e.g., additional overtime/compensatory time off costs) There would definitely be more overtime paid out if the officer is not replaced. We are at a minimum amount of officers needed to effectively respond to calls for service as we are staffed today. • What are the circumstances that warrant the creation of this new position? This is not a new position. 3. What is the total annual cost of the position (e.g., salary, taxes, benefits, equipment, etc.)? The position is budgeted at step 1 and would be a total annual expense of approximately $60,927 per year.
